00:00:00.513 --> 00:00:04.243
Today we have a frabjous treat for you.

00:00:04.243 --> 00:00:07.680
This poem is full of seemingly 
nonsensical words

00:00:07.680 --> 00:00:10.470
that somehow manage to make sense.

00:00:10.470 --> 00:00:12.950
Ready to see if you can follow along?

00:00:12.950 --> 00:00:16.060
Without further ado, we present:

00:00:16.060 --> 00:00:19.175
"Jabberwocky" by Lewis Carroll.

NOTE Paragraph

00:00:20.866 --> 00:00:26.409
’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:

00:00:26.409 --> 00:00:31.409
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

NOTE Paragraph

00:00:32.764 --> 00:00:38.781
“Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!

00:00:38.781 --> 00:00:43.891
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!”

NOTE Paragraph

00:00:45.705 --> 00:00:52.032
He took his vorpal sword in hand;
Long time the manxome foe he sought—

00:00:52.032 --> 00:00:57.862
So rested he by the Tumtum tree
And stood awhile in thought.

NOTE Paragraph

00:01:00.209 --> 00:01:06.591
And, as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,

00:01:06.591 --> 00:01:12.085
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!

NOTE Paragraph

00:01:12.085 --> 00:01:15.375
One, two! One, two! 
And through and through

00:01:15.375 --> 00:01:18.266
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!

00:01:18.266 --> 00:01:22.826
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.

NOTE Paragraph

00:01:26.372 --> 00:01:32.386
“And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!

00:01:32.386 --> 00:01:35.252
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!”

00:01:36.677 --> 00:01:39.077
He chortled in his joy.

NOTE Paragraph

00:01:40.252 --> 00:01:46.432
’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:

00:01:46.432 --> 00:01:51.972
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
